Solution
All of these
Explanation:
The evolution of several species of finches on the Galapagos Islands was driven by natural selection, adaptive radiation, and competition. Natural selection favored different beak shapes and sizes suited to specific food sources. Adaptive radiation occurred as finches diversified to occupy various ecological niches, while competition among species further shaped their evolution. Together, these factors contributed to the speciation of Darwin's finches on the islands.
